The man managed to get offside with an entire town, his neighbours, his church, the council, the local paper. He was also dumping raw sewerage into a waterway, reneged on agreements to buy his workshop, and just in general sounds like a peach of a guy to be around.
Refine that a little bit: he made a series of very bad business and financial choices regarding the commercial property he bought. He failed to follow through on the legal avenues he had available to him, he screwed with people who wanted to buy his property by jacking up the price after he had an offer, and he constantly blamed others for all his problems.
The man engaged in self-sabotage at every opportunity and made it everyone else’s fault.
He is in no way a hero.
I think the seeming lack of bad will against him stems from the fact that he didn't kill anyone but himself. Just a righteous (or rather self-righteous) rampage of property damage.
...except that he absolutely intended to kill people considering the arsenal of firearms and shooting ports in his contraption.
